The oldest known oil paintings were created by Buddhist artists in Afghanistan and date back to the 7th century AD. Oil paint was used by Europeans for painting statues and woodwork from at least the 12th century, but its common use for painted images began with Early Netherlandish painting in Northern Europe, and by the height of the Renaissance, oil painting techniques had almost completely replaced the use of egg tempera paints for panel paintings in most of Europe, though not for Orthodox icons or wall paintings, where tempera and fresco, respectively, remained the usual choice.

The Workshop Began

Baishakhee greeted all the participants and thanked the host for the lovely introduction. She first started painting the eyes and painted the lips with fine detailing. Baishakhee continued to colour the background blue colour in the campus. She answered all the questions of the participants.

Towards The End Of The Workshop

Baishakhee painted a colourful oil painting of a woman’s closeup face and blue colour in the background. All the participants appreciated her art and showed their co-created oil paintings and showed their co-created stroke paintings to her. She appreciated all the participants’ artwork. The host thanked Baishakheefor for teaching this wonderful art.

The attendees were from different parts of the country. They also belonged to different age groups but their love for art brought them together on a single platform. The Circle Community, as always, was successful in connecting artists and curating a magical and positive vibe together.
